Catholic Father
Talks Tuesday
By Carole Beech
Imartld liptttn
Those who heard the Rev. Mar
tin ThleJen repeat the words of
Christ, "Render unto Caesar the
things that are Caesar's and unto
God the things that are God’s,"
in summarizing his Tuesday eve
ning address on "Religion in Gov
ernment Affairs" heard one of
the most colorful of Catholic
men In the state.
Father Thlelen is currently
both priest to St. Stephen’s par
ish in southeast Portland and
director of education at the Ho
man Catholic Archdlocesp in
Portland. Addressing students is
"old stuff” to the priest who
spent many years hs instructor
and later principal at Central
Catholic high nchool.
Formal education for Father
Thlelen began in the parochial
elementary schools in Portland
and concluded In Rome in 1835
where he was ordained.
Religion's Place in Polities
Tuesday evening, at one of the
smaller turnouts thus far dur
ing Religious Evaluation week.
Father Thlelen told his listener*
that religion has just as much a
place in government as in the
family or the Individual.
The trend a few years ago had
been placing too much emphasis
on the adage "separation of
church and state,” Thielen stat
ed. People have been insisting
on absolutely no relations be
tween the government and the
church.
Religion Found in Courts
But, Thielen insisted, religion
can be found in every phase of
government affairs: in the court
room, at the opening of legisla
ture, or during a presidential in
auguration address. These ele
ments at-, religion reflect thi
Unlted States constitution, which
was act up by wise men united in
the belief of God. Religion must
not be forced upon any group or
individual, Thielen went on. but
the government should permit
teachings of religion in the
schools.
As supporting arguments, he
read decisions of the Supreme
Court and the New York Court
of Appeals, which gave a defini
tion of "Separation of church
and state" which would permit
released time.
rather.Thielen, a speaker who!
often throws out ideas of his
own faith to the minds of the
mostly- Protestant listeners,
speaks with great feeling and
sincerity. His voice is sometimes
soft, at times firm, and once
Tuesday evening, when he was
referring to the relationship of;
church and state in Europe, he
emotionally and vociferously de- ;
dared, "I, too, would go political j
if a force would come into my
country and try to suppress
Christianity. If this be treason,
make the most of it.”
